Another shot from the hip is the duck under syndrome. The pilot is flying
along the GS well and picks up ground contact coming through the murk.
Pilot goes a little lower to pick up the runway and goes below glide slope
and into the ground. All while flying straight down the localizer.

I live in CT, weather was scattered but bad at the time (low clouds,
scat tstorms). Dunno how it could have happened though, a jet as well
equipt (and probably well piloted) as a LearJet should be, seems odd,
coming down over a half mile short of the runway.
Shooting from the hip, and with no facts to base this on, I SPECULATE
low-level
windshear . . . microburst. Winds were definitely strong enough to push
the
plane down.
